The Level 1 Officiating Course is the basic
Refereeing Course. There are no prerequisites for attending this course and it
is the sole training vehicle for the education of entry level Referees as
Certified USA Rugby Referees. The Level 1 Course covers the Referee's
priorities, provides an introduction to the Laws, and examines scrums,
ruck/mauls, tackles, lineouts, offside, and advantage with focus on the critical
parts and how to Referee them. When a student has completed this course, and
the accompanying test, they are ready to begin refereeing safely. Students that
do not pass will be given opportunities to retest onsite. The objective is to
ensure Law knowledge, not to weed people out.

The Level 1 Course is required to begin
Refereeing tackle Rugby and to have a Local Society rating. This course is
required to have a C3 or above rating.
